I think that as good as it sounds on paper, bringing back the days of super-literal, highly gameable Netscape-style search behavior probably isn't what you really want. I think that the search engine you're really looking for is probably just Google's from 10 years ago, or Google's now, but while logged-in so you can disable some of the more annoying new features; Like the one where it tries to auto-predict every search text to match the most popular celebrity wardrobe malfunction incident in current news headlines.
While I'll give you that is technically true in some sense for individual releases of most distros, its actually not true for all of them because not all of them work on a cycle of individual separate releases.
This is irrelevant anyway though because the important point here is that you don't have to pay to upgrade when its Linux. Also, unlike Microsoft, Linux distros typically don't have partnerships with commercial hardware vendors who have vested interests in purposefully obsoleting hardware. While sometimes support for older/rarer hardware gets removed from Linux accidentally or for lack of testing resources, its largely true that you can still with little or no tweaking run even a current fresh release of most Linux distros on hardware from even earlier than the year 2000. I know this to be true because I frequently do it for fun. I'm sick. Help me please.
BTW ha-ha to all you all you guys who pushed EXT4 before it was ready for prime-time while making fun of those of us still using XFS or ReiserFS. Whose filesystem buried their inodes in the back yard now, huh?
Am I confused here, or did the summary wording say they basically are claiming no culpability for the site's contents not being live anymore because they didn't literally change the files, they merely replaced the entire server?? How does it then follow that this wasn't their fault because they "automated" it?
I assumed that meant he was Mexican. If he was Black we'd have heard about it, and if he was White they wouldn't have blown up his car without asking him about it first.
Its a real simple marketing trick actually. Don't call it "spyware" or "wiretapping", call it "security" and "monitoring" and make sure to mention "for the children" and you're all good.
1) allegedly hack into mSpy to steal data.
* didn't need to do this part, because you already work for the NSA and have all the data, but it was fun anyway 2) post stolen data to the darkweb (nobody there will ask if you simply downloaded it of your work intranet, they'll assume you just hacked mSpy) 3) profit (and laugh while mSpy implodes under a dogpile of negative publicity, all cleanly deflected from your employer)
I think that is most likely actually because someone in the area you moved to was offering DirecTV a better deal than AT&T was in that region. Your main point likely stands, because a merger between AT&T and DirecTV would no doubt preclude them from bundling with other companies except for regions where AT&T has no service coverage whatsoever, but that's likely got little or nothing to do with the upgrade to U-Verse in the area you moved from. In my region, for example, DirecTV will happily bundle you with U-Verse, whereas just a few blocks east of here where I used to live their choice was Time Warner Cable. For all I know this may change from block-to-block, or even building-to-building.
I think you probably aren't aware that Dell has a pretty decent foothold in the market of prefab data center solutions, and compared to a lot of others their servers&racks snap together a lot nicer, and come with a lot more enterprise-friendly tech support. Don't get me wrong, I'm no big fan of Dell so I'm not gonna advertise for them, but if you Google "Dell blade server" I'm sure you'll quickly realize its no laughing matter.

I don't use Windows, so.. nope. :)
You really gotta run that cron job with XFS. I know, its undignified, but XFS is really old.
Yea, sure, if you omit "doesn't randomly corrupt filesystem on reboot" from the list of mandatory requirements.

If you don't want systemd then in your /etc/apt/preferences, add:
Package: systemd
Pin: origin ""
Pin-Priority: -1

Hilarious. Keep up the good work guys.
I thought this was old news though. What is new about it this time? How is anyone even surprised, with the types of ads they would fly on that site?
Your apartment, and the one downstairs.

Now that nuts!
Also, people actually like almonds, which is even more nuts.

Its cute how you assume most people can learn from their mistakes by tracing decision to result to cause to unintended effect.
I like this one better.

All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.

Oh yea, cause I *totally* miss paying long distance fees to send an email to the east coast.
Maybe they should be hiring him to help consult on how to secure the systems instead of trying to intimidate him and silence the truth?
It's not agile.
+1 Funny. :)
I'm shocked it was only 10 billion. Asshats.
Oh wait, I wasn't using it. Carry on.
So now its on-par with a equivalent hardware in a PC laptop?
